What is the absolute SHARPEST lens that I can buy for my Canon full-frame camera for under $1000 AUD?

I want to be able to see myself in the reflection of my subject's eyes. I want to be able to crop in so far that no one would be able to tell that I've cropped the image.

EF or RF mount.

$1000 won't get you far at all in fool frame world. Look towards macro lenses.

> I want to be able to see myself in the reflection of my subject's eyes.
Nail focus. Or, tripod + studio flash + smaller apertures.

> I want to be able to crop in so far that no one would be able to tell that I've cropped the image.
Then you want megapickles and quality glass. I only see extreme cropping and seeing reflections of photographer and camera in iris in medium format images.

You'll see that in high resolution 35mm as well, D800 or higher.

Don't know about AUD prices, however, pick one of those:

Sigma 135mm f/1.8 Art

If less tele:
Sigma 85mm f/1.4 Art
Tamron SP 85mm f/1.8 VC

If more standard:
Sigma 50mm f/1.4 Art

If wide angle:
Sigma 35mm f/1.4 Art
Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS
Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 IS

You can get a Sigma 85mm Art for $1100 new in the US, even less grey market. And I can routinely see myself in peoples eyes with it on a Z7 and base iso.

>>3685039
In that general focal length, the 40mm Art is far better than the 35 or 50

I forgot about the 40mm. >>3685029 should definitely list the Sigma 40mm f/1.4, and it should probably lead it. The Sigma 105mm f/1.4 Art should also be mentioned.

For portaits, from the lenses I've owned/used, nothing beats the Canon 135mm f2.

But there are probably other choices I haven't tried yet.

The 200mm f2.8 is as sharp at f2.8 as the 135 is at f2 and I got mine for about $400 AUD from Cash Converters online store but I don't use it very often for portraits.

Look guys, it's not my fault Canon can't make a good mirrorless. I know you're jealous of Sony but it's okay, they'll still let Canon use their sensors. So there's that.
Funny when Canonfags talk about shills when they buy whatever hipster tattoo coffee man tells them to.

Thanks for the recommendations anons. Deciding between a 50mm and an 85mm sigma then. I’ve currently got a 24-105 so not sure what I prime to pick. Never used an 85 before and the only 50 I’ve used is the nifty fifty

The sharpest lens that fits your budget is the Canon EF 50mm f1.8 STM. And it costs only $125. The alternatives all cost more than $700.

I’ve used the 50mm 1.8 for a while and it’s not that sharp, especially at f2.8 and wider which is what I’m looking for in portraits. I even own a 70-200 2.8 (but it’s an old one) and even that isn’t as sharp as I want it to be when I’m at 4:1 zoom in Lightroom.

What pixel size is your sensor. It IS more than the lens when you start to zoom in an pixel peep. You need pixels to peep when zooming in 4X

Would an anti-aliasing filter over the sensor be that noticeable when zooming in to edit versus a camera without one?

BTW, any expensive glass will be useless if you can't focus or hold a camera properly. You should really consider being able to compose and frame instead of cropping like crazy. Bless.
